Thanks. I just ordered one too. The more I use my 85, the more I like it. The focus speed hasn't bothered me at all, but I haven't used it for fast action. For me, it's mostly a portrait and semi-macro lens. And it's very good at those things.

I took it to an ice rink once, and, well, wish I had brought my 70-200 2,8L instead. Image quality was astounding. Capturing action, eh, not so much. My partner, at the ice ring.

And, yes, I know one eye is blurry. I like it that way!

Great shot. And nothing wrong with one eye blurry. If you shot stopped down enough to get the other in focus the background wouldn't be so creamy (and you'd have to use a much higher ISO). This is perfect as it is (and looks great for ISO 5000).

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
